Hi there- welcome to the board! Fellow newbie here, too (but second time-Atkineer)...

You probably didn't get many replies yet because the questions you posted are very basic and suggest you haven't read Dr. Atkins' book. While everyone here is about as helpful as anyone I've ever met online, they can only do so much...

I'll take a shot at your questions, but you really need to get the book and read it cover to cover:

1- how long should i safley do the first phase .. with 20 gram of carb??

Read the book. Typically you do a 14 day induction, but I believe Dr. A says you can safely do "six months or more" (don't quote me), provided you don't get bored, your blood work is good, and you have good energy/sleep patterns.

2- i'm allowed to use honey?? in the morning because my favorite breakfats if 2-3 tsp of honey over a heavy cream ( well i know heavy cream i allowed but im not sure about the honey)

Not in the induction phase.


3- i'm allowed to use milk ? for my mocha coffee?? puls natural brown suger not refiend suger ...

Not in the induction phase. Added sugar of any sort is not allowed in any phase of Atkins.

4- Is it okay to use whole grain brown crunchy slices i use 4 silce and 8 slice contains 40 grams of carb .. i use 4 slice which means only 20 gram

If you're talking about bread, no, not in the induction phase.

5- Can i have dark chocolate for dessert?? like dark chocolate bars with 80% pure coca??

Not in the induction phase.

6- What vitamines supplemnts i should take during atkins?? im using now chromium picolinate 200 mcg because they told me its good for fat burning .. what do u think anyone got an idea about it and is it fine to use it with atkins???

I don't recall. You need to read the book. I take a single multivitamin per day (Men's Mega).

Here's the list of acceptable foods in the induction phase of Atkins. Anything not on the list is not allowed: http://www.atkins.com/Program/FourPh...FoodsList.aspx

Sorry if my post wasn't helpful, but I strongly urge you to get the book or perhaps read the stickies and FAQ's on the site. We're here to help!

Best of luck in your journey!
